But it looks good for Valve I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted November 30, 2004 I think it's a different case were Valve is suing Vivendi Universal. Valve seem to have won, preventing VUG from selling "their" game in Cyber-Cafes. I had never even heard of that before, though. Maybe someone can elaborate. I don't think this has anything to do with the STEAM thing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted November 30, 2004 I think the Steam issues are part of the same case (Counter-Claims?) but only part of the case was resolved now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lechimp Posted December 3, 2004 So does anyone think that Vivendi will ever drop out of the game industry or drop everything but blizzard? They seem to be losing a whole lot of money every year, and except for blizzard, it seems like there would be absolutely no point for them to be part of the gaming world. Or are they going to keep trying to get into a growing industry? In fact, a lot of the big evil publisher seem like they're losing money or are in trouble. EA is getting a lot of flak about their evil business practices, Atari/Infogrames is losing tons of money and may die, Acclaim is pretty much dead, and VU Games is doing horribly. If some of the big publishers disappear, are other big publisher like Microsoft going to buy their properties, or are smaller publishers going to take their spots and possibly cause the game industry to suck less?

AGA Posted December 7, 2004 If you read the previews pages of gaming mags, about 70% of all upcoming games is being released by VU or one of their companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted December 7, 2004 Are you sure? EA tends to generally hold that honor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AGA Posted December 8, 2004 Well. In this month's PC Zone UK previews, there are two VU Games games, two Ubi Soft, zero EA, one Atari and a bunch of other people I've never even heard of. In reviews there are 2 VUG, 1 EA, 1 Atari and 1 Ubi Soft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
